I have a tropical yellow canna and it's starting to wilt and it's getting brown. Is bad or good if you water it a alot or water it a little? Does it live better in warmer places or cooler places?

I live in Wisconsin, and we have all of these Japanese Beatles in every room. I'm getting kind of sick of them, and can't seem to find anything that gets rid of them or kills them. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I have a couple items of curiosities. I would like to start collect more. So I was wondering if it would be a good idea to have a "mini museum" room full with collctions of curiosities? Would that be cool?

for example, when my fridge or central heating come on / go off, it causes interference with my TV aerial, why is that? Do I have something wrong with my property's ring main?

In addition to the living space we are demolishing an existing single detached garage and replacing it with an attached single garage.

We live in Berkshire - whats the cost? Does that include VAT? Does anyone have any advice or recommendations?


Exceptionally grateful for any help - cheers

I have a really nice kitchen knife that I (oops!) left next to an older cookie sheet and the rust from the cookie sheet got on my knife. I've tried everything (it's not in a spot where sharpening has helped). I know that I've had good results using CLR for my hose nozels each spring and such, but will it ruin my knife? Thanks!

Getting ready to build a new home. Have hired an architect to draw the plans for us. We know that the house is going to be a 2-story "farmhouse" as it is being built on quite a bit of land. We have 2 small children under the age of 7. We built the home that we currently live in now without much thought and research and I hate it. It id definitely NOT kid-friendly. I want to really RESEARCH this home before we have our second meeting with architect, so I am asking this question again. IS there anything that anyone has in their house that they love, that they hate, AND is there anyting that we should consider or building specifications that we should use in construction our new home. I want to have EVERYTHING in order before we break ground! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU!

I am moving into an apartment complex and will have the option of the bottom or top level apartment. I've never lived on the ground level because I've always heard it is more unsafe....breakins, etc. At this new complex I'd really like the ground level as I like the design better and the top level is 3 floors up. Does anyone know if it really is more unsafe to live on the ground level? (Obviously it would be easier to break-in and some areas of town will be more dangerous). Has anyone lived on a ground level and had a good or bad experience?

Any natural meaning non chemical solutions to this problem, i have severe allergies pets and a small child so i cant use a lot of chemicals. I hate bombs cause they smell up the house for ages after wards. Any ideas would be apreciated!

It's a rented house so I really don't want to invest a lot. Hower there are draughts coming in from windows and internal doors. The external door is fine as it does not go directly outside but into a hallway. No double glazing and it's cold even with the heating on full blast and open gas fire!!

We watch the lights and are careful. I get a bill for 26, then the next month 300, the next month 150, the next month 250, then 30... and it does not correlate with the seasons and daylight. The bills are wacky and I call in and they say I am using alot, but I"m not. Some of the esimates are high too, so it can't be the estimates verses the readings?

I heard it was cheaper and more efficient to build with concrete block. I also talked to someone about building a wood home and he said it would cost 75,500 to build that way. Just wondering if it will be cheaper. ~ Thanks! ~

Today I decided to audit my landlords on the amount they have been charging me for water. I went to city hall and had a print out of my account history. After reviewing what they have charged me and what was actually billed by the city, I have one month where they charged me double (A current bill and an "Arrear" past due bill, which I already paid them for) and another month (current) where they tried to do the same thing. How should I approach this? Should I just show my landlords the evidence and have him/her settle this by refunding the one double charged month? Or should I contact a certain agency to open an investigation? The amount that needs to be refunded is not much, only $24. However, according to town hall my landlords has 20 different properties that get city water. If they're doing this to me, I'm sure they're doing this to the other 19 properties. That's a nice chunk of change- $480, if the other properties were to get the same bill as I do, which I'm sure they don't.
